Corrosion or rust forming inside the generator enclosure

Safety First: Turn OFF the generator and disconnect battery negative before working inside the enclosure.

• 1. Improve drainage: Ensure the concrete pad slopes away from the generator and that water does not pool around the base.
• 2. Inspect enclosure seals: Check door gaskets and roof seams for gaps or damage. Reseal with appropriate weatherproof sealant.
• 3. Remove rust and treat metal: Lightly sand rusted areas, clean, and apply a rust-inhibiting primer and paint compatible with the GE enclosure.
• 4. Consider dehumidification: In very humid or coastal environments, consider adding desiccant packs or a small enclosure heater (if approved by GE) to reduce condensation.
